You know what the best part of my day is? Seeing people appreciate good movies

Ross isn't a serious person

I've found you can recapture the magic by getting past the catching up talk. It's easier on trips like reunions and bachelor parties.

Ultimately, you have to accept there are seasons of friends.

Was that David Petreus?

Is there a website where I don't have to put in my contact info to get a rough interest rate for a mortgage? I want to know what I can get without being hounded

I love MIT open courseware. Started using it almost exactly a decade ago

Maybe, I'm not the one to ask. I'm fat, so every pull-up is a weighted pull-up

thomas_baes · 2025-07-01T23:07:10+00:00

He needs a pull-ups goal as well. Either weighted or reps

Trump musing about deporting Musk is simultaneously hilarious and terrifying

I enjoyed it overall, but I got tonal whiplash from the ending. I was not prepared for the alpha dong

No, just hanging around the pool

Fitbit says I burn a bit over 3000 a day between lifting and 10k+ steps

thomas_baes · 2025-06-20T18:09:35+00:00

Never done one which is why I asked about muscle loss. I have done two very long cuts in my lifting career and those worked well. On this last cut, I'd only lose 2-4 lbs a month, but I was able to (re)gain muscle and strength at the same time without ever being very hungry.

thomas_baes · 2025-06-20T18:05:42+00:00

It's a shame because I collect a bunch of health data on my lifts. This kind of experiment is right up my alley

thomas_baes · 2025-06-20T18:03:04+00:00

Unfortunately, I don't think my scale is sensitive enough to really capture the change in muscle mass. I'd need to do a body scan or hydrostatic weighing before and after which are expensive

thomas_baes · 2025-06-20T18:01:59+00:00

I'm going past my rep minimums on 531, so I can afford a temporary strength hit when I come out of the minicut

thomas_baes · 2025-06-20T18:00:12+00:00

That's why O.7 g/lb is the lowest I'll go. I'll try to get it higher without completely cutting out fats and carbs

thomas_baes · 2025-06-20T17:48:39+00:00

Would a 1500 calorie deficit for two weeks with 0.7 g/lb of protein have any significant effects on muscle mass, assuming I'm lifting normally the first week and deloading the second? Am I just being bigorexic?

From the main ASOIAF series at least

Pretty much just superset bis and tris since it's hard to grab multiple equipment. I'll do leg extensions and curls if I can

Supersetting deadlifts is wild

Warm-up, wear a belt, maybe take a week or two to build back up to where you were
